Elara Ward thought monsters belonged in storybooks. That fate was just a word. That her life would be ordinary. She was wrong. When her best friend drags her to an extravagant midnight ball, Elara believes it's just another elite social event-she has no idea the gathering is meant for one purpose: To present supernatural maidens to the Vampire King so he can find his fated mate. Humans are forbidden. She's not supposed to be there. But destiny doesn't care. The moment King Kael Draven sees her-wide-eyed, human, and completely unaware of the danger around her-something impossible happens. A burning crimson mark ignites on her skin the instant he touches her. His mate. His queen. A human. The court erupts in whispers. Power shifts. Centuries of tradition fracture. The bond between them grows with every stolen glance, every heated argument, every moment his control slips and desire breaks through. But loving a king born of darkness comes with a cost... Jealous nobles lurk behind silk masks. Ancient laws are broken by her very presence. And someone in Kael's inner circle would kill to keep a human from wearing the crown. She never believed in destiny- until the Vampire King marked her as his.

" Why? I'm not yours" she said Stubbornly. " You are" " No I'm not" He didn't say anything but she felt him move closer if that was even possible. She pressed her back against the door. He placed his hand on the wall by her head. " Jayden..." Kayla called under her breath. She was scared at how close they were. Especially since it was dark and she could see nothing. She wondered if he could even see her " Mhm?" Jayden replied as he lowered his face to her neck. ______________________ #1 lovable #1 human #10 vampire #4 mysterious #1 badboygoodgirl

Their story should have ended with that court case, but he's found a way back to her, and he won't give her another opportunity to escape. Not this time. ------------------------------------------- Shivering, I sobbed out, unable to speak, unable to move. "Shh, shh, now baby-girl, it's alright, you're safe, don't cry" he soothed, moving closer to me. "N-Noah, I w-want to go home," I sobbed, feeling weak from my inability to talk without stuttering. A gasp left my parted lips as his hand forcefully connected with my cheek, "You are home, so I don't want to hear that crap from you, okay?" shaking, I looked down at my feet, his gaze too menacing to hold. "I said, do you understand" he spit through clenched teeth, "y-yes, I'm sorry" I whispered, a new wave of tears making their appearance. "Good girl, now I need you to keep being a good girl, okay?" nodding, my eyes met his dark ones. His form towered over me, making me feel small and irrelevant. "Words, Embry!" He demanded as I stuttered out a quiet yes. I studied him cautiously as he walked towards the far end of the room, shuffling through drawers before stalking back towards me and crouching down. I sucked in a breath as I saw the knife in his hand, his face held a mischievous grin as it glinted in the light. "Now baby-girl, you see, as much as I hate to, you need to be punished, do you know why?" Warning! This story is for mature audience, it contains strong language, abuse, mature themes and sensitive topics. Please enjoy, -Aphrodite.

Book 1 of (The Awakening Series) {#1 Supernatural} {#1 Paranormal} {#1 Lycans} {#1 Vampire Romance} {#5 Royalty} The world went to shit long before I was born. Humans like me use to believe other species were nothing more than fictional characters, myths, or figures of one's imagination. But that was before vampires left the shadows and decided to reveal their species to the world. I've been told that teenage girls use to fantasize about being swooshed off their feet by those mysterious creatures. Insane. Matter of fact, insane would be an understatement, they were fucking lunatics. Vampires are not some fictional character that would love you like no other. No, vampires are not some sort of myth, and they most certainly are not, a figment of anyone's imagination. They are very real, and they despise the human race. In fact, they have enslaved my entire species and formed a new world. Each continent is owned by a ruthless, bloodsucking, barbaric, the vampire king. Every single one of them has played a part in the war of the awakening, showing no mercy, killing without question. Humans didn't even stand a chance. Our army and world leaders were killed or imprisoned in less than a couple of days. They slaughtered my race, but it didn't stop there. No, that was only the beginning of human suffering. Trust me when I say the death was truly a kindness, because anyone who survived the awakening, would beg for death. I was positive that my suffering would come to an end when I turned eighteen. I was hoping and praying to be marked as a feeder, nothing more, nothing less. Death was the only way out of this world. You see, all of the kings who ruled over the earth were cruel and calculating. They are all tyrants in their own right and they all answered to one vampire. Who was known as the most barbaric of them all and I was marked as his chosen. The King of all Vampire Kings.
